Belasko,
Are you adjusting your pivots to fit your rods? If not, try making the opening where the rod is held a little smaller by squeezing the loop closed a little bit. If you do that, I don't think you'll have issues with the rod sliding. After doing that, if the pivot doesn't fit in the
dle just right, you can squeeze the dle together a little as well, but it probably won't be necessary. I have to adjust them a tiny bit almost every time I use them, but that's one of the things that makes them versatile, is that they are adjustable. They do seem to work better on the rods with foam handles than ones with cork handles, but I find they work well on both if you adjust the pivots.
Maybe I should make a video on how to adjust them. Or, better yet, I could film Hogger and then we can post it on his web site. I'll talk with him about it.
